HANSHIN DIRT   05 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Pacific Route is the probable leader in the small field. LA FAMILIA (1) showed good early dash at the first run after a spell last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 0.8 lengths away in second over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Fitter and will take catching. WIDE BLIZZARD (6) finds it hard to win but ran a strong race last time when beaten a head into second over 1800m at this track. Should settle just off the lead. Expecting another bold showing. GORDALE SCAR (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a head from the winner in third over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ALANA KOA (5) took advantage of the good draw and raced on the pace last start before tiring to finish seventh, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 2200m at Chukyo. Worth including.
